VfB Stuttgart - Werder Bremen

VfB Stuttgart and Werder Bremen meet on 7 November 2026 for matchday 9 of the Bundesliga. Stuttgart arrives at the MHPArena following a mixed run of results, including an impressive 4-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen but a recent setback in the Champions League against Galatasaray. The hosts face significant personnel challenges, with Angelo Stiller, Atakan Karazor, and Josha Vagnoman all sidelined through injury. Their expected XI will rely on Ermedin Demirovic to lead the line as they look to regain domestic momentum.

Werder Bremen travels to the venue carrying positive momentum from a 2-0 win against Hoffenheim. Their recent form has been defined by high-scoring encounters, including a narrow 3-2 win at Mainz 05. The two sides last met in the league on 26 April 2026, where they played out a 1-1 draw. As both teams look to assert their influence, the question remains whether Stuttgart can overcome their absences to secure points at home.
